review 1: While this short, perhaps a little too short for my taste, book on the Left wing agenda was good, it was also far from great.The author, Codevilla, could have gone far more in depth in anyone of the numerous topics in which where just merely touched upon, also, the author should have included more references to the claims being made. This is really my only serious issue with this rather short piece of PoliSci.I felt as though the only time the author used references was when he would quote something someone famous said at the beginning of each chapter. However, in the middle of said chapter Codevilla would make a statement with no way to back it up. Let it be known that I am not questioning the validity of these comments, however, for a nonbeliever they would need to see t... morehis in order to give this piece any legitimacy.All in all not too bad. It could have been four stars if it where not for some small issues.
review 2: Codevilla turned a popular essay from a few months ago into a longer treatise. The essay is excellent, and the book is slightly better because it allows a fuller treatment of the issues at hand. Unfortunately it seemed a bit rushed to the publisher because it could have really used more material than is there. The book is excellent in its analysis of the two classes in American public life at odds with one another. Codevilla shows that it is a bigger matter than red states versus blue states. We are in a battle of progressive versus traditionalists. The ruling elite in our country believe they know what's best for us and are imposing their way of life upon the rest of us, while the country class desires freedom and independence of thought and action. This is perhaps the best treatment of the issues that I've read, and deserves a wide audience. Unfortunately it also deserves a much longer book than 87 pages. less
